I made this patch in high school as a way to make a little extra money and ended up decided to pursue a business in creating embroidered goods. That is when I started Retrograde Supply Co. I have dealt with Alibaba, Ebay, and Hot Topic ripping me off and continue to do so. The original patch can be found on my website (https://retrogradesupplyco.com/) for $5.

I have found AT LEAST fifteen other exact (albeit lower quality) copies of the I Want To Leave embroidered iron-on patch shown on the left, mostly from various sellers on Etsy, Amazon, eBay, and Instagram, but a rectangular version is also now available at Hot Topic. It used to @astropuke’s best seller, with multiple buyers on the daily. However, despite lowering prices to keep up with competition, they’re averaging at about one sale per week — if that. Please be sure to buy the original here: http://astropuke.com http://astropuke.storenvy.com http://instagram.com/spacebabesociety ^^^ Any design sold anywhere else is a copy.

ModCloth has ripped off two of my original designs and remade them into crappy earrings. They're an obvious trace job, even if they did have the courtesy to lob off portions of my artwork.

so.. Katy Perry has stolen my artwork and used it on her single cover - I was never contacted by her or anyone from her team or label Capitol Records. What’s more is that Katy has been selling my artwork as her own, as merchandise on her store , and through other outlets , as a $35 print. I’m shocked that they think it is acceptable to lift my work directly from my website and use it as they please without paying me or even contacting me. please share

Hi,  tocotshirt.com has blatantly stolen my t-shirt design I offered on Amazon Merch.

https://tocotshirt.com/products/funny-resist-no-international-tee-480 I assume all their offered t-shirts are stolen from Amazon.com - the designs from Amazon Merch Sellers.

My original watercolour illustration that I use on a Christmas card was stolen by Missguided, a fast fashion company based in the UK. They seem to have digitally altered my illustration and used it on a graphic tshirt pajama set.
